This is Tz speaking. My author does not know how to post properly, so she must remain anonymous. (She is not the same Anonymous as the one above, whom I am very interested in turning into a toad, right now . . .)

Secrets? There is a blog about secrets now? That's marvelous! My author will flip.

Ah, yes, well. When it comes to MY secrets, I would like to tell you, but they do happen to be secrets, after all.

Tz, if you want your name to appear in the place of anonymous you can click the little name/url bubble on the choose an identity. You should be able to type in your name and it should post with your name, I think. So why'd you steal the book? Why do you want to turn the other Anonymous into a toad?

As for me, I can't think of a secret to share. There is something my author's not willing to admit, but well, it's really a personal battle between the two of us.

I have several secrets that my author kept from me during the writing of my story. The biggest one being: who raped and beat me to death when I was 16. She doesn't reveal this secret to me untill all the way to book three, though the readers were privy to it.

My secret (is Cal around?) is: just before he died, I was planning to leave Robert. To disappear, start a new life somewhere else. I was planning on never coming back. Oh, how I would have missed Cal!

Well, I guess it's ok that comes out. Afterall, my author allows me to reveal this in that third novel.

Yes Amy, I was pretty sure you were planning something with Robert's parents. I forgive you for the betrayal, and thought of abandonment.

It would have been so much better for him had your plan to cart him off to rehab worked.

And, I would have found you; where ever you ended up.

As for my own secrets, well can't tell those in public. Never know what cop or snitch is listening in. Can't catch me that easily!

My author is keeping secrets from me, and I don't like that. She hasn't told me if my brother dies, or what exactly my mission is for the FBI agent, or what my own secret agenda is, or who my target is, or where and when, for freaks sake I get to get started on all this.

Well, Anon 7:25, I must admit that your secret is truly mysterious... and just a little disturbing.

As for me, I've revealed my big secret already... that my mother, Devi Marconi, left my father when I was 15 to live in a secret, underground community called Ruby Hollow. It was hard for me to admit that secret - for one thing, it didn't feel like mine to tell - but I didn't give away the location of the Hollow... and anyway, it was time for my family to know that my mother wasn't dead after all and that I knew exactly where she was.

HI all, my author said I could visit today if I don't take too long. Gosh, I have one big secret at the moment and that's that my great aunt committed suicide by jumping off the ferry to Victoria. Nobody but me noticed and she wrote a note saying that I mustn't tell. So I'm all alone here, in a strange country, following the plan she wrote out for me. I have to keep my connection to her a secret too, even though the people I find have known her at sometime in her long life. I'm kinda scared to tell the truth. I don't know if I'll like being a nobody.

Hi, everyone! Well, since we're discussing secrets, I thought I should stop by. After all, Olivia's right. I kept quite a big one from my family for three decades.

When I was thirteen, I stumbled into an underground community in southern Kentucky and fell in love with a boy down there. But life intervened, and I ended up living in New Orleans, married to a man who was not my soul mate. He was a good man, though, and we had three daughters, so it was hard to leave him. For nearly thirty years, Jesse and I kept up a secret correspondence... until the time came to follow my heart.

But I have to know, Olivia, what's the secret that Laura spoke of? My curiosity has been piqued indeed...

Yeah, but what you didn't know is that after I left, I kept up a secret correspondence with Craig, just as you had with Jesse, and that I considered returning to the Hollow more than once over the years...

While I was in college, in fact, not long after I broke up with Nicholas, I met Craig in secret. Even Dad didn't know. But as much as I loved him, I just couldn't give up my life on the surface. A few years later, I met Michael and realized that he was my true soul mate, so I'm grateful for the decision I made. I have no regrets. But, still, there's a part of me that wonders what life would've been like had I stayed down there...

Wow, Gabby, that's terrible. Not just that you accidentally killed your mother, but that you have to pretend that you intended to kill her, just to keep up your tough persona. That must be hard at times - I'd be afraid that either the guilt would eat away at me or I would begin to believe my own murderous streak.

At least you have a sacred place that's all your own. That probably helps.
